Rapid HMI development platform

Developing a rotary interface with graphical display typically requires significant engineering effort across multiple disciplines, including encoder sensing, firmware architecture, GUI rendering, mechanical integration, and environmental sealing. These challenges can add months of development time and introduce substantial project risk. DRAGONEYE removes this barrier.

Built on the STM32U5 microcontroller and optimised for circular touch displays and rotary interactions, the platform provides developers with a ready-to-use environment for rapidly creating functional MVPs while maintaining a direct path to production through Anders’ engineering and customisation services.

At the heart of the platform is a newly developed IP65-rated brushless rotary encoder, engineered in-house by Anders specifically for sealed industrial HMI applications, featuring sealed high-resolution IP65 construction for harsh environments, a high-resolution 2.1” IPS-TFT display, contactless sensing for long-life, wear-free operation, integrated capacitive touch capability, haptic feedback support for tactile interaction, and the flexibility to be customised for different display sizes.

Together, the STM32U5 development platform and Anders’ rugged rotary encoder deliver a ready-to-run solution for rapid development of robust, production-grade rotary HMIs.

DRAGONEYE leverages the full STM32 development ecosystem, allowing engineers to use familiar tools, libraries, and software frameworks while accelerating GUI and application development.

The platform is designed not only for rapid prototyping but also as the foundation of a fully deployable production system, with Anders providing comprehensive customisation and optimisation services including application-specific PCB redesign and system integration, mechanical and enclosure adaptation, rotary interface material and finish customisation, firmware optimisation and tuning, as well as production scaling and full lifecycle support.

This enables customers to transition seamlessly from evaluation to a production-ready product manufactured by Anders.
